FSLabs Airbus A320X 0.7b BETA

57 posts in this topic

This BETA module is provides most of the important functions for buttons, knobs and switches for the FSLabs A320X. Further functions will be added when more data is made available by FSLabs. It has been tested with the LINDA 3.0.0 beta which runs under 32-bit and 64-bit. It is therefore ready for the expected release of FSLabs A320X 64-but for P3Dv4.

This update includes default configurations for all 3 types of VRInsight Combo MCP panels including one for Airbus model. Please note that due to the inability to access AP data (SPD, HDG, ALT and modes) the MCP Combo displays actual data. However, the knobs functions work with the Virtual Cockpit display. The main shortfall is that none of the 'flat' buttons (eg. Master Caution/Warning, Auto Brake, etc) have been implemented due to lack of access.

A list of all available functions is contained in the download.

Installation:

Use the Aircraft Module installation functionality on the Maintenance page of LINDA 2.9.7 or 3.0.0. Alternatively, manually copy the content of this archive in your modules folder.

Your current configurations will not be overwritten, but always make a backup before starting.

As an Aerosoft Airbus flyer I would keep it simple. The MCP should just repeat the FCU data SPD/HDG/ALT/VS/AP1/AP2/AT/Loc/Appr and the AP modes SPDdot/HDGdot/ALTdot.

Just to add my opinion on this matter. I also believe that the MCP should repeat the data shown on the FCU.

Other types of data are welcome, but as a "Mode 2/3" function. I've been using LINDA with the Aerosoft Airbus for a long time and I've completely stopped looking at the VC for the AP data. I just look to the VRInsight displays.

Anyway, thank you for your effort in putting another module together. I was checking this forum everyday hoping for a LINDA release for the beautiful FSLabs A320. Let's hope they release an SDK soon and all your hard work becomes a little easier. Thank you.

Speed pull - OK I see that on the rotary. Assuming I can assign to the SPD button as well or is the idea on the Boeing style MCP to push once for "give to bus" and push again to replicate the pull to "give to pilot"

You can assign as you like. Unfortunately we do not have pull knobs. SO I handle it that I assign push to the rotary and pull to the SPD button. Same with HDG and ALT and VS
